Self-employed

  1. You are a small business owner but, since your business isn't incorporated, TurboTax Self-employed is the best choice for you. If you would like the added option of tax advice and review, consider TurboTax Expert Review for Self-Employed.

  2. Your small business activities are included on your personal return. You'll record your total income and any related expenses (cost of the stock, shipping fees, home office if applicable, etc.)
  3. In cases where the buyer paid for the shipping, you would include the total amount paid to you (including shipping) as income and then include your shipping cost as an expense.
  4. Expenses lower your taxable income dollar for dollar. Try to be a thorough as possible. Little expenses like stamps or office supplies may seem minor but every little bit helps.
